BM 3,651,095 has separate soldered ring...

I just picked up 3,651,095 with separate soldered ring.

I have a ton more data in the mid 2mil to mid 3mil range that I can post in a bit to add to the list above to show even more spread. I've already given all my tongue-ring numbers, but I have lots more in those higher ranges that are not (as do many of you). That would put the tongues in even greater perspective.

Re: Research U shaped Bravery Medal

Cool research! So far it proves an "out of the box" random numbering theory.
